Evan Carmichael argues that relying on perfect conditions to stick to healthy habits sets you up to fail. If you only succeed when junk food isn't around, you'll crack at vacations, parties, and friends' houses. Build discipline that works in messy reality instead.
If you can only win when you're in a perfect environment, then as soon as you leave your environment, you're screwed. If you're on a health journey and you've only taught yourself that you cannot eat junk food whenever there's no junk food around you, well, what happens when you go on a vacation? What happens when you travel? What happens when you do an office Christmas party? What happens when you go to a friend's house? It's over because you've trained yourself that you can only win in a certain tightly controlled environment.
